My colleagues and I were saddened to learn of the death of Mika
Yamamoto, a Japan Press video and photo journalist who was killed while covering
clashes in Aleppo, Syria, on Monday. The moment was all the more poignant
because of the similarities with two other Japanese journalist fatalities: Kenji Nagai of APF News in
Burma in 2007 and Hiro
Muramoto of Reuters in Thailand in 2010. As with Yamamoto,
Nagai and Muramoto were photojournalists covering conflict between anti-government
elements and government troops in foreign countries.
